Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Swamp Land

In a daze, the little fat man felt a foreign object coming to his face and was shocked. When I opened my eyes, it turned out to be two palm-sized yellow birds, pecking at their noses. The little fat man was annoyed and stretched out his hand to wave it away. When the little bird saw the fat man wake up, he hurriedly flapped his wings and flew away.

"People are unlucky, and even the birds come to bully. The little fat man smiled self-deprecatingly. Only then did they realize that it was already noon, and Qiao Ruyan and the three of them were sitting cross-legged on the tree, and they didn't know whether they were cultivating or sleeping. Qiao Ruyan's face was very haggard, and between the slightly trembling eyelashes, it seemed that tears could be seen. I guess I'm still sad that her moon heart was robbed. The little fat man sighed secretly, thinking, I wonder if this heart of the moon can be recovered?

The little fat man was looking at it intently, and he didn't want Qiao Ruyan to seem to have a feeling, so he suddenly opened his eyes and saw the little fat man's eyes. Suddenly, there was a blush on her pretty face.

The little fat man didn't expect Qiao Ruyan to suddenly open his eyes, and his heart was pounding, as if he had stolen someone's wife and been caught raping him in bed. His face was as red as a pig's liver, and he quickly turned his eyes away, not daring to look at Qiao Ruyan's face.

It was Qiao Ruyan who recovered her demeanor first, and said softly: "Little junior brother, you are awake." ”

"Hmm. The little fat man replied softly, and the shyness of being caught peeping had not yet completely swept away from his heart.

"Are you awake?" Lei Guangqi also opened his eyes when he heard the conversation between Qiao Ruyan and the little fat man.

"It's noon. Gong Can also opened his eyes, stretched and said.

Through the intertwined branches, the rare sunlight shines down. It is also thanks to these shady trees that they have slept until now. Otherwise, the bright sun shines down, and people are all sunburned, so they still have the heart to sleep!

Qiao Ruyan moved his hands and feet that had not moved for a long time, felt that the blood flowed smoothly, and said to the three of them: "Let's go down!" Lei Guangqi and Gong Can, following Qiao Ruyan, also jumped down one after another. Now, there was only one little fat man left in the tree who was almost drooling with envy when he looked at their figures.

"Little junior brother, come down quickly!" Qiao Ruyan beckoned to the little fat man.

The little fat man looked down, and he was a little dizzy when he looked at him from a height of more than two feet, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to look down. His eyes looked away, and he said, "Okay, I'll come down right away." ”

He said that he was going to do it immediately, but in his heart he was thinking about what to do. After looking at it for a while, I didn't dare to climb down. Qiao Ruyan under the tree was impatient, and said loudly: "Little junior brother, you still can't get down, if you don't come down, we'll leave!"

When the little fat man heard this, he hurriedly said, "Immediately, come down immediately!" As he spoke, the little fat man closed his eyes, held the big tree with both hands, and held the big tree tightly with his two little fat legs, as if he was afraid of falling down. It is easy to go up the tree and difficult to get down the tree, and the little fat man grinds and chirps for a long time before climbing down from the tree. When my feet stepped on the ground, I felt my legs go weak and tremble a little. However, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking up, I saw Qiao Ruyan and the three of them looking at him with a smile, their faces flushed, and they waved their big hands and said, "Let's go!"

Qiao Ruyan and the three of them glanced at each other, smiled knowingly, followed behind the little fat man, and also walked inside. The little fat man's pants are a little worn, and the chrysanthemum part is also a little painful. It may be that the bark was slippery when sliding down from the tree. This kind of humiliating thing naturally cannot be shown. The little fat man endured the pain from the chrysanthemum part, but his face looked as if nothing had happened.

After walking for a while, the three of them found an open place and lit a fire to eat. As for why they have to find an open place every time they make a fire? That's because this jungle has a lot of dead branches and leaves. If they are not careful, they set fire to the forest, and their sins will be great.

After eating a few things and filling their stomachs, they continued on their way. Qiao Ruyan seemed to have forgotten about the heart of the moon, and wanted to talk and laugh like in the past. Qiao Ruyan didn't mention it, and the little fat man naturally wouldn't mention the heart of the moon. As if nothing had happened, they continued their training in the Black Forest.

After walking for a while, there were fewer trees in front of me, and a large open area like a valley appeared. The ground was full of dead branches and leaves, and there was a creaking sound when the feet stepped on. Gong Cantou led the way, Qiao Ruyan and Lei Guangqi walked in the middle, one left and one right. The little fat man fell at the back alone, looking listless, and walked slowly.

Actually, it's not that the little fat man doesn't want to go fast, it's just that when this guy just eats, he eats too much. If you want to go fast, you have more than enough heart but not enough strength, so you just follow behind and pacing slowly, so you don't get separated from them.

The little fat man walked slowly, stretched his waist, and snorted. It's really uncomfortable to sleep on this tree, but I can't help it.

"Ah......" The little fat man suddenly heard Gong Can's exclamation, his heart tightened, and he looked up and disappeared Gong Can's figure. I saw Qiao Ruyan and Lei Guangqi standing there, looking at something anxiously.

The little fat man hurriedly ran over, but before he could reach them, Lei Guangqi turned around and said to the little fat man, "Senior Brother Zhu, slow down." This is a swamp, don't sink into it. ”

Hearing that there was a swamp, the little fat man was also startled. Hurriedly slowed down, walked to Qiao Ruyan and Lei Guangqi, and followed their gazes, only then did he find that Gong Can was in a situation. It turned out that Gong Can, who was leading the way in front, was walking, and suddenly his feet were weak. His face changed greatly, he exclaimed, and before he had time to jump away, his body fell down. Moreover, the more he struggled, the faster he sank. Thankfully, it sank into his shoulders and didn't sink anymore. However, this swamp is extremely sticky, and even if Gong Can is now in the third talent stage of cultivation, he can't struggle out of this swamp. At the time of the moment, this place was still the same flat land as the surroundings, and after Gong Can fell, the true appearance of this place was revealed. I saw a large swamp about a few tens of meters wide, and I could see it at a glance. Usually, because there are few people walking here, the beasts are familiar with the situation here, and they can't avoid coming here. Gradually, this swampy land was covered with leaves. From the outside, you can't see it at all. Because of this, Gong Can fell into it with a single negligence.

"Fifth Senior Brother, don't move, we'll find a way to rescue you right away. Lei Guangqi, who had always been calm, also panicked, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down his head. Looking at Gong Can, who was about five or six meters away from them, he was also at a loss.

"Senior Brother, why don't we try to find a long branch and pull the fifth senior brother to try. The little fat man suggested next to him.

Lei Guangqi nodded in agreement and said, "Then let's look for it and see if there are any longer branches around here?"

Nothing is lacking in the Black Forest, and there is no shortage of branches. A branch more than three meters long was quickly found. It was a small tree cut down by the little fat man with a treasure knife. The thickness of Xiaoshu's arm in this lesson is about four or five meters long, which is enough to reach Gong Can.

"Fifth Senior Brother, you grab the little tree, and we pull you out with all our might. When the little fat man stretched out the trunk of the tree, he said to Gong Can.

"Okay, I'll give it a try. Gong Chan nodded in agreement.

The little fat man carefully handed over the branch, and after Gong Can grasped it, the little fat man, Lei Guangqi, and Qiao Ruyan worked together, intending to pull Gong Can out of the swamp. However, even if the three of them used all the strength to breastfeed, they didn't pull out half of Gong Can. The stickiness of this swampy land is too strong, and with their cultivation in the three talent periods, they can't pull Gong Can at all.

This trick didn't seem to work, the little fat man and they were deflated, threw the little tree aside, squatted on the ground, and discussed what method to use to save Gong Can. Research and research, the sun is in the west, and I haven't figured out a way, and if I can't think of a way, the sky will get dark.

Just when the little fat man was anxious to heat the ants on the pan, he suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound in his ears. The little fat man was stunned, looked up, and saw a colorful fireworks in the sky, like a rain of flowers in the sky, which was very beautiful. This firework has not dispersed in the sky for a long time, and it can be seen clearly within a radius of dozens of miles.

"Fifth Senior Brother, why did you launch the signal arrow?" Qiao Ruyan said, with regret in his tone.

It turned out that Gong Can couldn't save himself when he saw everyone. This day is about to get dark, and when the time comes, if there are any poisonous snakes and beasts coming, Qiao Ruyan and if they have any mistakes, they will never give up. Thinking of this, Gong Can quietly took out the signal arrow and flint from his backpack and lit the signal arrow.

Speaking of which, a magistrate is about to ask, didn't you just say that the swamp is very sticky? How did Gong Can pull out the signal arrow? It turns out that this swamp is just a layer of silt, no different from ordinary mud. Only on the legs is the kind of extremely sticky dirt.

Gong Can smiled and said, "Little junior sister, although I have only been in the forest for two days. But in these two days, I learned a lot. In these two days of life-and-death struggle, I already feel that my cultivation has grown a lot. When I get out of the forest, I will practice hard. I think it won't be long before we can break through the four-elephant period. ”

"But, Fifth Senior Brother......" Qiao Ruyan was about to say something, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw four figures flying from the sky, and swallowed the following words.

Not only Qiao Ruyan saw it, but the three little fat men also saw it. I saw four figures in the sky, galloping forward. Soon they arrived, and they had already seen clearly that it was Xuanyuan Puchen and the two protectors of Fulong Valley, and the remaining person turned out to be Qiao Ruyan's mother-in-law, Ji Yanling. It was the four of them who saw Gong Can's signal arrow, and they came in a hurry.

Xuanyuan Puchen and Ji Yanling Yujian came down to the three of them and looked at the three people in front of them.

"Mother......" Qiao Ruyan's eyes were empty, and she held back her tears and didn't let it roll down.
